• You've got to be a bit careful with the car analogies.

    that is actually quite a good analogy. you got the same sort of collectors' market, history to each piece and some design story behind it too. with the steel bikes being not used anymore in writing the cycling history, you will get less and less of them, and the prices will reflect that.

    As nice as bikes are, a track bike is about as complicated to make as a car exehast.

    here you are trolling right?

    Cars will (and should) always carry a premium just because they're more complex pieces of machinery and cost a shit load more to start with.

    did he say that this should cost as much as a particular car? no. he used the car market example to illustrate how much can one pay for a rare piece. Is laser a rare piece? it is, it actually started to be rare couple of years ago.
    is a fork mounted pursuit laser a rare piece? no, its not. its rare as fuck.
